Capacity issues on 30 gig ipod

I just have a question regarding the capacity on the 30 gig video ipod.
When I update it gives me the bar that shows the audio, photos, free space and other. What exactly is other?
I have 15 gigs of music on my ipod. Yet, it says that I have 11 gigs of "other" taking up space. I just want to know what that is.. because I really want to get rid of it. If I can't get rid of it.. I think I might be a bit angry that I spent the money I did on a 30 gig ipod for it only to hold 15 gigs.
Can anyone help me?

I didn't enable disk usage. I wanted it to be strictly audio. That's why I'm baffled and don't know what else is on it. I'm thinking I might just have to restore the original settings? I really don't want to because it takes ages to put everything back on. Grrrr

Syncing and capacity issues - how do I fully delete certain iPod items?

Perhaps I just don't know how to properly delete files off my iPod. In short: Podcast items that I manually drag from iTunes to a playlist in my iPod don't seem to fully delete after I delete them from the playlist. And I don't see them listed in my ipod podcast area.
The bulk of my ipod consists of music I manually tossed on there. That portion never gets synced. And I haven't added new music in a long time.
I have three different podcasts programs I auto sync the last 3 episodes of (it was 5, but I reduced it due to the problem I'm describing in this post).
I also manually drag (via iTunes) some podcasts from my laptop to a playlist on the iPod. I do this once a week. The shows I move over aren't always the same, this is one reason I don't auto sync them. (i.e. I might decide to move over a really old episode of a program I rarely listen to.)
The podcasts I manually moved to the playlist seem to only show up in the playlist. They don't appear in the Podcast or Music sections.
Each week I also delete the contents of the playlist (by going into the playlist and deleting the listing of the playlist's contents).
*If I delete the (manually moved) item from the playlist then it appears that it doesn't free up the space*. Since I can't find any other mention of the item on the iPod, how do I delete it?
I'm aware that if I drag an item from iTunes to the iPod's podcast section, then a entry for the item shows up there. And then I can delete the item and get that space back. Maybe this is the proper way to move files and perhaps I'll start doing that. But at this point I just want to fully delete all the old items I can't see anymore.
Because of this problem I've had to delete more and more other items from my iPod to free up space for the new podcasts I want to manually move over. I'm getting tired of doing this. Thus, this post.
If need be I can provide examples of the exact steps I take, space left, etc.
Using iTunes 10.1.2. I've read some threads in the past about capacity issues that started cropping up in 10 or so. I don't know if my problems are related.
Thanks,

Note: by using a third-party iPod file browser, I'm able to easily see all the hidden podcasts (they add up to many many megabytes). However, the one I'm currently using, Senuti (free version) doesn't seem to allow track deletion from its browser, it just lets me transfer from the browser to iTunes.
Is there a (free?) file browser that will let me delete tracks?
Also, I haven't examined all of the hidden tracks, but for two of the podcasts shows, it looks like the oldest hidden ones were added on 6/19/2010. iTunes 9.2 released on 6/16/2010 and I likely installed it around that time.

IPad freezing after IOS4.2 - capacity issue?

I had roughly 1GB of available capacity on my 16GB iPad BEFORE installing the 4.2 update. I had a large photo library, mainly photos downloaded directly to the iPad from a digital camera, ie not synced to the iPad from my iMac via iTunes/iPhoto.
Anyone else have these general conditions prior to the install/update? I suspect that the low capacity may play a role here...

My iPad froze on update. I had to eventually kill iTunes (not responding, and not responding to a normal Quit from Activity Monitor). I believe it did not manage to complete the backup cycle. I had to reset my iPad. After about two hours of showing an Apple and an unmoving progress bar, my iPad started working again.
I suspect several things. I had very little disk space left on my Mac mini (~20GB). The Backup folder for my iPad and iPhone exceeded 30GB. Individual backups for iPad were over 13GB. I also had about 5 GB of photos from my camera on my iPad, put there with the camera connector. I suspect that was implicated also, and intend to remove them. However I did have a fair amount of space left on my 64 GB iPad.
Over the next evening I will correct all the capacity issues I can see, and resync my iPad. At the moment, the Video app and the iPod app claim they are cancelling sync, and are not able to be used. iPhoto took a fair while to update photos.I suspect I will find other apps in the same state.

100GB HDD - 'Available' Capacity Issue

Apple forgot to put a disclaimer about the available capacity issue on its 12 inch and 15 inch G4 powerbooks that come loaded with a 100 gig hard drive and 1 gig of ram. Check the outside of your box, it is not on there. I also have a imac G5 and it comes with this disclaimer, as does every other Apple computer. Thinking they solved the available capacity issue, I then opened the box, turned on the computer, went up to the blue apple in the upper left hand corner of the screen, clicked on about this mac, then clicked on more info, then went to the hard drive info, only to find, I had less capacity then I was led to believe I had purchased. Any one out there with this same issue?

MIR --
Thinking they solved the available capacity issue....
There is no "available capacity issue" to be solved. The difference between the stated capacity of your 100GB hard drive and it's actual 93.13GB capacity is simply the result of how drives are marketed. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk (discussion under the heading "The Difference Between 'Marketing Capacity' and Actual Capacity").
But you already know this, as that's what RD told you just earlier, and what others have told you on five separate occasions in response to your previous five posts on this exact same subject. See:

80 gig iPod

I purchased an 80 gig iPod video and it only holds 74.37 gigs. Any way I can get the difference back?

As a general rule, the actual reported capacity of a hard drive is about 7% less than the advertised capacity.
The discrepancy you are noticing is due to the differences in the way that hard drive manufacturers calculate disk capacity and how it is reported by the operating system.
HD manufacturers use a decimal measurement to calculate disk capacity. They consider a gigabyte (GB) to be 1 billion bytes.
The decimal measurement would be 1000 x 1000 x 1000 which equals 1,000,000,000 bytes. For example, an 80GB hard drive means that the disk has an unformatted capacity of 80 billion bytes. (80,000,000,000 bytes.)
Since computers "speak" binary, not decimal... the operating system calculates a gigbyte (GB) differently.
The binary measurement would be 1024 x 1024 x 1024 which equals 1,073,741,824 bytes.
Using the example above, an 80GB hard drive would be reported by the operating system as 74.5GB.
80,0000,0000,000 / 1,073,741,824 = 74.5GB
1GB iPod = 930MB
2GB iPod = 1.8GB
4GB iPod = 3.7GB
20GB iPod = 18.6GB
30GB iPod = 27.9GB
40GB iPod = 37.2GB
60GB iPod = 55.9GB
Since the iPod operating system and extras also take up some space, you will be left with slightly less that the above stated capacity for your content.
Apple also explains the above in this article:
How much content will fit on my iPod?

Replacement 40 Gig Ipod arrives, only syncs music just recently purchased

After buying a replacement battery option for my old 40 gig ipod - ipod gone for several weeks during this time - tried to sync with replacement ipod and semi-failed. Apparently, while it was gone, and I downloaded new itunes software and started purchasing songs on itunes for the first time, a new library was set up (by me apparently). Got the new ipod, did all the stuff I needed to do on the instruction sheet to reset to my windows xp software and it only downloaded the new songs in the new library. Explored around my files and found the multi-library issue, cut and pasted old songs from old library to new library but ipod still not willing to recognize them and download them.... any thoughts? This is on my home Dell PC, not at my office MacBook Pro.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.5)

OK...now I'm really confused. Thank you for bearing with me.
Here's my situation:
Old Dell 80GB laptop with about 41GB of music in two folders:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\iPod Music
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
So I can't consolidate to this hard drive.
I also own a 100GB external hard drive with copies of these folders:
D:\My Music\iTunes
D:\iPod Music
I want to be able to use my portable hard drive to store my music and run on my new 30GB Fujitsu. I want to keep all of my play counts/stars etc.
I have tried to swap out the .itl and .xml files on the new computer. This displays all of my music/playlists etc, but all music has a circled explanation point.
If I just use the Fujitsu to file/add folder and add the folders...I lose all of my stars/playlists.
The articles you gave me allow me to use my iPod as a transfer device, but I have too much music for this, right?

Restore turns 60 gig ipod into 16 gig

I received the corrupted message, resetting did nothing, and I hit restore. Now the settings show that the 60 gig ipod photo has only 16 gig total. How can I get the iPod to show its true capacity? I have the latest version of iTunes installed, and followed the directions to the letter.
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

My thoughts exactly.
There is something going on here that has nothing to do with individual ipod units, it's a hardware addressing or software problem.
For me, this also happened after an iTunes upgrade, so that may be part of the problem.
This unit is like new, less than 4 months old from Apple, and has maybe a few hours of play time on it.
Other things I have tried: iPod resets, iTunes resets, downgrading iTunes iPod updater to previous versions (2 older versions), reinstall of iPod software from original 60GB iPod disk, new battery, the battery and hard drive disconnect trick, re-initializing with Disk Utility in both Mac and PC (fat 32) formats, TechTool repair (won't show up as either FW or USB drive), Disk Utility repair from OSX boot CD, re-partitioning as 1 and 2 partitions (no change possible), security erase with 0's (failed first 3 attempts), and ipod internal diagnostics.
All report the disk is OK, but are adamant that it is a 15.97 to 16.1GB disk (various results with various attempts). No formatting can change that.
I saw someone had success with a reset button on the drive itself. My drive does not have such a button, unless it is hidden under a label somewhere.
But I have looked at the pinout diagram for the drive, and there is a pin for "reset".
If you short the ground pin and the reset pin, might it activate a reset routine with the drive?
I've done all I can, so am hoping for some inspired, or authorized (dare I hope?) advice.
Thanks!

60 Gig iPod Failure? Life Time?

Does anybody have any idea as to how many hours of use you can get out of an ipod? I have a 60 gig ipod photo that has just recently started giving me problems.
First, it would pause in the middle of songs, and restart, a problem that became increasingly more common with time.
Then, upon trying to restore the software, it would stop in the middle of uploading songs.
The remedy was turning the ipod into an external disk, and using the Mac OS to reformat it. Then, I was able to re-install the ipod software, and run for a while.
The ipod was working fine for a week, but when i went to recharge it on my computer and update it, it died. It refuses to start, and you can hear the hard drive making the same "Clicking" noise repeatedly. After a few minutes the sad ipod icon would appear, saying to come to the apple support website.
Is my ipod dead? Are there any known issues with Mac OS X viruses that may have corrupted my itunes and killed the ipod? What remedies can i try?

Is it nothing relates to the virus, very likely, a problem of the hard drive of your iPod or the battery needs to be replaced.
Have a read the following, see doing the zero out data option helps as I did for my 60G
If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
Intermediate Level
A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.

C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Advance Level
A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
B. Format your iPod with a start disk
I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
Just in case that you are at the following situation
Your iPod warranty is expired
You don’t want to pay any service charges
You are prepared to buy a new one
You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
Last Resort Level
1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

60 Gig iPod failure?

I have a 60 gig ipod photo that I've been using for sometime now, without any issues. Recently, however, it has been acting up. In the middle of a song, it may just freeze up completely, only to be fixed by a reset, where the problem may occur again.
Figuring it was software related, I restored the ipod using itunes. When I put it back into the computer to upload songs, however, it freezes, in the middle, and stops uploading songs, about 3/4 of the way until it is full. It also froze my computer. To the point where I had the beach ball of death running for 10 minutes. I had to shut the computer off (LIKE A WINDOWS MACHINE?!?!)
Anybody have any clue what's going on?

it could be caused by the corrupted files on your iTunes (music, photo or artwork) or the bad sectors on the HD of your iPod.
For corrupted files, you must find a way to delete them. I had an experience with the same problem, I could only find them out by copying all the files to an external HD. The copying process will stop at a point, where you find the files corrupted.
Regarding the bad sectors problem, see if the following helps
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”

Using a 80 gig iPod Classic with a Phillips DCP750 Portable DVD Player

This weekend I almost purchased the Phillips DCP750 portable DVD player, but after reading some of the discussions posted here, I am doubtful it will work with the 80 gig iPod Classic I bought last month. Does anyone know if there is a way to make this work or if there is another portable DVD player that will work with my iPod? If I purchase a universal dock from Apple, will this let me change the settings on the iPod so it will work? And which cables would I purchase to connect my iPod to a TV? I am somewhat disappointed that it is apparently so difficult to hook the 80 gig Classic up to a bigger screen to watch downloaded movies, TV shows, video, etc. I might have settled for the smaller Nano if I had know this would be such a hassle.
I would appreciate any information anyone can give me on this.

1. How likely is it that Apple will fix this issue with future firmware releases?
No-one here could even hazard a guess. We're just users like yourself. Do Philips claim this DVD player is compatible? Isn't it the responsibility of the makers of the DVD player to ensure it works with the Classic?
2. Are other 3rd party devices (i.e. Docks, Automobiles, etc.) affected by this firmware release?
Yes. Almost all older 3rd party accessories don't work with the Classic. There have been many posts about such issues both here and other iPod forums.
3. Is there any way to go back to firmware release 1.0.2? I know backing off firmware releases is possible with the iPhone.
This may be of help but you have to have the previous version still on your computer.
Remove the latest update from the iTunes/iPod updates folder.
In Windows XP but I think it's found in "Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates."
Then prevent iTunes from checking the internet for a new update (preferences/general and remove the check mark from "check for updates automatically), then click restore. Or simply disconnect your modem from the computer.
Then restore the iPod.
You should then be asked if you want to use the previous version of the iPod software.

Windows Formatted 30 gig ipod needs ipod rip for video downloads

Is this even available anywhere?. I used "ipod rip" when I bought my mac G5 so I would be able to continue adding music to my windows 1.0 formatted 30 gig ipod without having to lose my existing music that I had no way of retrieving since my pc had died. Is there a similar patch that will allow me to transfer movies and tv shows downloaded from itunes onto my ipod?

Virus Tranfer w/30 gig ipod Video

I have read previous posts and i just want some clarity.
I have a 30 gig ipod vid and i was wondering if i put music pics or vids on it from an infected computer can i transfer them to another computer. I read it is possible if you are transfering stuff to the second computer as if the ipod were a removable disk, but what if i only use the 2nd computer to load my ipod (tranfer only to the ipod) via itunes? Also if i used other software to transfer my music, vids, or pics, to the second computer could i tranfer a virus then? I ask cuz at an internet cafe i burned a cd with vids n music. I scanned them before doing so and upon inserting it to a friends computer before transfering the vids n stuff i scanned it and viruses appeared. I knew the cafe had some virus that always inserted an exe into the folders i stored my files in, so i was careful, and thankfully so! If it is possible, then before doing any transferring to or from my friends computer can i safely attach my ipod via usb to my friends computer and scan it incase, without putting my friends computer at risk? Question is long and drawn out, but i dont wanna ask more questions, you know? Thanks a mill in advance.

i would imagine that if the virus was attached to music/vid/pic, then yes, there is a very good possibility that you could transfer the virus to the computer. your best bet would be just saving it to disc(cd/HDD/flash), virus scan/clean and then uploading to ipod. good luck!

How do i transfer pictures from 60 gig Ipod to iMac?

I am giving a family member a 60 gig Ipod Video. And How can I get the pictures off the Ipod and onto my new iMac?

If you copied photos to your iPod using the full resolution option, enable disk use, open your iPod in "my computer" in Windows or Finder on a Mac, open the photos folder then open the "full resolution" folder and drag the photos out of that folder to your desktop. For enabling disk use look here.
Disk Use.
If you only copied the photos as thumbnails, you can't do this so you'll need a program such as this one.
iPod Photo Liberator. (both Mac and Windows versions available)
Photos as thumbnails won't be of the original quality when copied back to your computer.
